Pictures from Spring Break Retreat

You would think that by now I could remember to upload pictures in the correct order as to how they will appear on the blog - but NO - I can't. I was too busy teaching and visiting to take too many pictures. So we will start at the trunks show part of the day.....


I was too busy oooing and ahhhing at the quilts to take any pictures!

The reveal of the mystery class.....


...and another color way of the mystery class.


Denise Stewardson complaining about a few pinwheels!!! (too dark)



The prizes that Two Peas in a Pod gave away during the class.....




... and the "Two Peas in a Pod" Connie and Carol. Great friends and great teachers. They had put together such fun mystery with a baking theme.

These 3 darling girls - Rose, Michelle & LuAnn - were in my morning class "Spring Break".
All the ladies in class had great fabric chooses for these blocks and I think some of them even learned something! I had a wonderful time teaching this class.


Another shot from my class.



These 2 darling girls are Deon Richards from Mantua and my crazy cousin Carole who came up from Ogden (she is the gray haired on in the front). They both enjoyed the cathedral window class in the morning and then Deon took the afternoon mystery and Carol took Sandy Workmans class in the afternoon. I didn't get any pictures in that class.



Cathedral window class with Carol Bodily on the left concentrating so hard and the ever smiling Carol Armstong having a great time.



A dark picture but that smiling beauty is Jennifer Ashton.



What a beautiful head of hair in the foreground - why that is my wonderfriend Mariann teaching the cathedral window - she is a terrific teacher. Look at all the happy women!



Another shot of Rose and asst. gals in my class.


Last but certainly not least - me and my darling little granddaughter Lilly - she made a quick appearance in the afternoon so that I could show her off to all the ladies!!! We love each other.


Again - I thank everyone who helped make the retreat a success. I especially need to thank my daughter Stacy who kept everything going - she is amazing. I love you so much Stacy. But sadly I didn't get one pictures of your beautiful face. Next time!!!!!

The sun is coming out and it is going to be a beautiful weekend. Enjoy! xoxoxo Kaye

Life

Here it is Thursday and I still haven't posted anything for over a week - naughty me. I have so many things to ramble on about and my brain is on overload anyway. I think the most important thing i need to share is how overwhelmingly fun our retreat was last Saturday. I must tell you that after all is said and done - it is worth every minute spent in preparation. I first want to give everyone a great big THANK YOU for sharing the day with us. I feel like the classes were all very successful - wonderful teachers for sure - to share their talents. The prizes were well received and of course I have to mention the good food. But of course I am always happy with a meal that I didn't have to plan, shop, prepare and clean up after !!! I truly appreciate every one's participation. I left my camera at home so I will post some pictures later.
I think it is safe to say that spring is here - so many pretty spring blooming things that I love to see - something about the beautiful bright yellows always make me happy. But - my friend has a magnolia tree in full bloom and it always snows at least once each year while the tree is in bloom - we'll see.
I am going to go home and try to put some things away in my sewing room - it is a total disaster! Later - Kaye
